Thank you in advance. >===== here is an example error message ======= >Ghostscript: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 >Error: /typecheck in --put-- All I can suggest is that you upgrade to the "Aladdin" version of Ghostscript (which is the non-GNU version as the GNU version lags behind it by a year(?)) and try again. You can get version 3.33 from: ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin/ This does indeed work on FreeBSD and I have just placed a binary taken from my FreeBSD 2.0.950412-SNAP box on the following host: ftp://ftp.ukc.ac.uk/pub/rlh/binaries/gs3.33-FreeBSD-2.0.tgz feel free to try it out!
